Description

I'm a 33 year old girl from Switzerland, with a degree in biology with a specialization in entomology and somewhat looking for new adventures now that I have quit my job. I am starting my travels in January 2026 in latinoamerica. I am a very social person, meeting friends whenever I can, either for doing sports or having a barbecue or many other things. However, I have learnt to enjoy the quiet and peace of nature as well as the noise of the jungle.

Una experiencia muy agradable con Laura. Me ayudó a abonar los arboles frutales, fuimos a traer troncos de leña en el.monte y principalmente estuvimos construyendo un gallinero. Laura siempre en la mejor disposición de ayudar. Compartimos muchas platicas y fiestas. Gracias por el rico Baguette. Gracias por todo...
